哥林多前書 9:24
- 27
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑，但得獎賞的只有一人？你們也當這樣跑，好叫你們得著獎賞。
凡較力爭勝的，諸事都有節制，他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。
所以，我奔跑不像無定向的；我鬥拳不像打空氣的。
我是攻克己身，叫身服我，恐怕我傳福音給別人，自己反被棄絕了。
腓立比書 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。
提摩太後書 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
那美好的仗我已經打過了，當跑的路我已經跑盡了，所信的道我已經守住了。
耶利米書 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
耶和華說：我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們末後有指望。
羅馬書 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。
羅馬書 15:4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

路得記 1:16
- 18
But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.
Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me."
When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
路得說：「不要催我回去不跟隨你。你往那裡去，我也往那裡去；你在那裡住宿，我也在那裡住宿；你的國就是我的國，你的神就是我的神。
你在那裡死，我也在那裡死，也葬在那裡。除非死能使你我相離！不然，願耶和華重重的降罰與我。」
拿俄米見路得定意要跟隨自己去，就不再勸他了。
羅馬書 12:1
- 2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。
不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
希伯來書 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

羅馬書 8:35
- 39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？難道是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是逼迫嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？
如經上所記：我們為你的緣故終日被殺；人看我們如將宰的羊。
然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。
因為我深信無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是有能的，是現在的事，是將來的事，
是高處的，是低處的，是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕；這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裡的。

腓立比書 3:12
- 14
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
這不是說我已經得著了，已經完全了；我乃是竭力追求，或者可以得著基督耶穌所以得著我的（所以得著我的：或作所要我得的）。
弟兄們，我不是以為自己已經得著了；我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的，
向著標竿直跑，要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。
希伯來書 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
神的道是活潑的，是有功效的，比一切兩刃的劍更快，甚至魂與靈，骨節與骨髓，都能刺入、剖開，連心中的思念和主意都能辨明。

"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

他的言語，你不可加添，恐怕他責備你，你就顯為說謊言的。

That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

啟示錄 22:18
- 19
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
我向一切聽見這書上預言的作見證，若有人在這預言上加添什麼，神必將寫在這書上的災禍加在他身上；
這書上的預言，若有人刪去什麼，神必從這書上所寫的生命樹和聖城刪去他的分。

使徒行傳 17:24
- 28
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
創造宇宙和其中萬物的神，既是天地的主，就不住人手所造的殿，
也不用人手服事，好像缺少什麼；自己倒將生命、氣息、萬物，賜給萬人。
他從一本（本：有古卷是血脈）造出萬族的人，住在全地上，並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界，
要叫他們尋求神，或者可以揣摩而得，其實他離我們各人不遠；
我們生活、動作、存留，都在乎他。就如你們作詩的，有人說：『我們也是他所生的。』
提摩太後書 3:15
and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
並且知道你是從小明白聖經，這聖經能使你因信基督耶穌，有得救的智慧。
